每日口說挑戰Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Independence Day (Web Exclusive)

早上除了吳D都沒人貼筆記，就突發奇想，來弄我的第一篇筆記&逐字。雖然用手機打這麼多有點麻煩，尤其我英打不怎麼快，然後重感冒一直頭暈，花了一小時才弄好，但沒關係我放暑假很閒，希望有幫助到大家，有哪裡寫錯也歡迎補充指正！錄音可以不聽沒關係，我的喉嚨大發炎，聲音都變了QAQ
PS: 糟糕，Reno今天沒事做了#

Hello and welcome to today's pronunciation challenge. My name is Daniel. Today is Wednesday, so we're half way through the week, nearly time for the weekend. I hope everyone is having a good week.
Today's video is Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and it's Independence Day (Web Exclusive). So, I don't know if anyone has seen John Oliver's TV show, Last Week Tonight, but I think I watch it a lot, and it's pretty funny. (He's pretty) He's a really funny comedian, I think. John Oliver is from the United Kingdom, and I think he's really funny, so I really recommend watching the show. And he's talking about Independence Day, and so in America, (you know) they [d..?] celebrated the Independence Day with fireworks and eating lots of food and parties, but he's saying, but what about if America has stayed being a part of Britain, then (you could have) they could have been speaking like this, with my accents, and it sounds like he's just having a bit of fun with the accents. That's pretty funny, I think.
But today's sentence is: These beautiful vowel sounds could have been yours, but instead, from sea to shining sea, you speak like you just burnt your tongue on a hot apple pie. (x2)


1-1 vowel 母音 (n.)

Okay, now let's go to the slang sentence of the week, and today's word I'm going to choose is: tongs, and the slang:

def. In a very forceful and energetic way.
ex. Our neighbors were arguing again last night. They were going at it hammer and tongs.


Okay everybody, that's the end of today's challenge, so let's hear the sentence one more time. (略) Okay everyone, that's the end of today's challenge. Remember to leave all your comments and pronunciations and the videos, and I'll see you all again next time. Bye bye.
